Watch Viewings: Fossil Group's Spring Summer 2013 feat. Karl Lagerfeld, Fossil, Adidas, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Diesal, Michael Kors, Armani Exchange and Skagen
I arrived at the FOSSIL GROUP Summer and Spring 2013 Watch Showings and I absolutely fell in love. Although up until recently, I didn't care much for watches - I had a simple black watch I wore just so I could keep up with the accurate time at work and to not need to check my phone all the time (an annoying and fiddly task). To me, a watch was just a practical item and not something I'd use to create a fashion statement with.

But stepping foot into these showings - my thinking has changed. I fell first in love with the Tokidoki/Karl Lagerfeld clock figurine as the glasses light up with the time digitally; and how iconic is the hair tied back and the sunglasses look Karl has going on? It's mini-karl!
Another trend I love is the introduction of Emerald/Jade colours coming into the collections of Marc by Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors, with the combination of square faces and gold touches, another trend popping up among the watches.
The standout for me though is the cutout shapes in the Marc by Marc Jacob's Icon Cut-Out faces - who can resist stars, hearts and birds being featured in watches? I am a huge fan of the tiny star cut-out, I can imagine it being matched perfectly with my Pandora star charm, a gift from a dear friend of mine.

For mens and for a sporty vibe - think Diesal and Adidas. Adidas has an exciting display stand where watches are lined up in rows (like Skittles) with an illuminating colour changing backdrop, highlighting the many bright colours in the range. Diesal has monster huge faces being featured, note the Daddy Square and Little Square faces that sit so manly on the wrist like a Boss.

Thanking FOSSIL GROUP for a pleasant visit. I made so many mental notes on what to buy next for my new fashion statements. I also noted to tell the boyfriend what I wanted for our four year anniversary, and what he should get me from his trip to Hong Kong (he does owe me anyway for leaving me for a week to drink and gamble ludicrously!). I already started sending him photos of the model and make of each watch I want so that he just CANNOT get it wrong.

I have a full-time job, I have a husband, I have two dogs, I read alot and watch too much TV. But in my spare time I like to blog (and hike). Here you'll find ramblings about my hikes, outfits I choose, events I attend and the food I've eaten (which is alot).
